Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
E aconteceu no mesmo tempo que Judah desceu de entre seus irmãos, e entrou na casa d'um varão de Adullam, cujo nome era Hirah,
2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
E viu Judah ali a filha d'um varão cananeu, cujo nome era Shuah; e tomou-a, e entrou a ella.
3 And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Er;
4 And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
E tornou a conceber, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Onan;
5 And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
E continuou ainda, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Selah; e elle estava em Chezib, quando ella o pariu.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Judah pois tomou uma mulher para Er, o seu primogenito, e o seu nome era Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
Er, porém, o primogenito de Judah, era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que o Senhor o matou.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Então disse Judah a Onan: Entra á mulher do teu irmão, e casa-te com ella, e suscita semente a teu irmão.
9 But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
Onan, porém, soube que esta semente não havia de ser para elle; e aconteceu que, quando entrava á mulher de seu irmão, derramava-a na terra, para não dar semente a seu irmão.
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
E o que fazia era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que tambem o matou.
11 And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
Então disse Judah a Tamar sua nóra: Fica-te viuva na casa de teu pae, até que Selah, meu filho, seja grande. Porquanto disse: Para que porventura não morra tambem este, como seus irmãos. Assim foi-se Tamar, e ficou-se na casa de seu pae.
12 And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Passando-se pois muitos dias, morreu a filha de Shuah, mulher de Judah; e depois se consolou Judah, e subiu aos tosquiadores das suas ovelhas em Timnah, elle e Hirah seu amigo, o adullamita.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
E deram aviso a Tamar, dizendo: Eis que o teu sogro sobe a Timnah, a tosquiar as suas ovelhas.
14 And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
Então ella tirou de sobre si os vestidos da sua viuvez, e cobriu-se com o véu, e envolveu-se, e assentou-se á entrada das duas fontes que estão no caminho de Timnah, porque via que Selah já era grande, e ella lhe não fôra dada por mulher
15 And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
E vendo-a Judah, teve-a por uma prostituta; porque ella tinha coberto o seu rosto.
16 And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?
E apartou-se a ella ao caminho, e disse: Vem, peço-te, deixa-me entrar a ti. Porquanto não sabia que era sua nóra: e ella disse: Que darás, para que entres a mim
17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?
E elle disse: Eu te enviarei um cabrito do rebanho. E ella disse: Dás-me penhor até que o envies?
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.
Então elle disse: Que penhor é que te darei? E ella disse: O teu sello, e o teu lenço, e o cajado que está em tua mão. O que elle lhe deu, e entrou a ella, e ella concebeu d'elle.
19 And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
E ella levantou-se, e foi-se, e tirou de sobre si o seu véu, e vestiu os vestidos da sua viuvez.
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
E Judah enviou o cabrito por mão do seu amigo o adullamita, para tomar o penhor da mão da mulher, porém não a achou.
21 And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.
E perguntou aos homens d'aquelle logar, dizendo: Onde está a prostituta que estava no caminho junto ás duas fontes? E disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta alguma.
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.
E tornou-se a Judah, e disse: Não a achei; e tambem disseram os homens d'aquelle logar: Aqui não esteve prostituta.
23 Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Então disse Judah: Tome-o para si, para que porventura não venhamos em desprezo; eis que tenho enviado este cabrito; mas tu não a achaste.
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
E aconteceu que, quasi tres mezes depois, deram aviso a Judah, dizendo: Tamar, tua nóra, tem fornicado, e eis que está pejada da fornicação. Então disse Judah: Tirae-a fóra para que seja queimada.
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
E tirando-a fóra, ella mandou dizer a seu sogro: Do varão de quem são estas coisas eu concebi. E ella disse mais: Conhece, peço-te, de quem é este sello, e estes lenços e este cajado.
26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
E conheceu-os Judah, e disse: Mais justa é ella do que eu. porquanto não a tenho dado a Selah meu filho. E nunca mais a conheceu.
27 And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
E aconteceu ao tempo de parir, eis que havia gemeos em seu ventre;
28 And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
E aconteceu que, parindo ella, que um poz fóra a mão, e a parteira tomou-a, e atou em sua mão um fio de grã, dizendo: Este saiu primeiro.
29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
Mas aconteceu que, tornando elle a recolher a sua mão, eis que saiu o seu irmão, e ella disse: Como tu tens rompido? sobre ti é a rotura. E chamaram o seu nome Perez;
30 And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
E depois saiu o seu irmão, em cuja mão estava o fio de grã; e chamaram o seu nome Zerah.
